Fish baked in the oven with cheese

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake fish in the oven with cheese? Prepare the products. I will bake mackerel, but you can take fillets of any fish — cod, hake, tilapia, pink salmon. If the fish has been frozen, then defrost it beforehand. Any cheese for this dish is suitable — hard, semi-hard, soft, like mozzarella. The main thing is that it is tasty, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well.

2. Step 2:

   

   Gut the fish — cut the abdomen and remove the insides along with the black film, it can be bitter. Wash the carcass well from all sides, then dry it with paper towels. Cut off the head and tail. Cut out the fillet — to do this, cut the carcass along the spine to the spine. Turn it on its side. With a sharp knife, cut the meat from the backbone bone. Turn the carcass over and cut the fillet from the other side.

   Cut off the fins, remove the large bones.

   Peel the onion, cut it into thick rings. I took a purple onion, but the usual onion will do.

   Also cut the olives into rings — each olive into 2-3 parts. That is why it is better to take pitted olives. If you have a bone, then crush it with the bottom of the glass, remove the bone, and cut the fruit into several parts.

   Put onion rings on top of the fish, spread out the sliced olives.

   Take a tomato. Peel it off. How easy is it to peel tomatoes? Wash them, make criss-cross incisions on top with a sharp knife. Put it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove, cool slightly and remove the skin. It will be very easy to do this from a sharp temperature drop.
